hey hey
ETC retailer (eveonline listing)
you can also buy GTC's direct form the eve store.
im not sure which countries actually have GTC's in retail outlets. but goto your account management page and there should be a list ov available funding options.
Shattered Crystal - 60 day GTC <-- shattered crystal are a reputable GTC retailler and will send you the GTC via email and its easy to setup an account with them. you can also buy GTC's in the timecode bazarr forum for ingame isk and you can also buy a plex licence from contracts ingame
hope all that helps

I have the same issue it costs me 45 pounds a month to play eve with 3 accts ie 3 eve retail boxes every 2 months.
Ii buy online or buy gtc online i save 15 pounds a month but since i don't have a cc or paypal i have to pay extra which is bull**** and i have a stack on limited edition eve boxes lol.
I would like to see the gtc them selves for sale in stores for the 25 pounds they cost online, i don't want the box just the gtc, I could have another full acct if they did i'm paying the price of 4 accts for 3 just becuase i don't want to buy online
ps if anyone wants to swap isk for a limited edtion box let me know lol(i dunno if thats against eula but i can't see why ) my vid watch now

CCP and Atari must be getting excited with how well the box edition is selling.....
Oh wait.
Originally by: CCP Whisper No it is not an official statement. Not everything surrounded by blue bars is an official statement which can be quoted as fact until the end of time. Deal with it.

I do believe that is an attempt to get people to pay 15 bucks for a free client download and not a retail box.

Do any stores carry them? I can't use a credit card for a GTC, and therefore can't use Paypal either.
If not, maybe we should petition CCP/Atari to provide some

The main problem with Shattered Crystal is that they are so paranoid about CC fraud that they require stupid things such as phone calls with verification questions and other such crap. I've bought entire computers online and never heard of such a load of bull... Simply buy the ETC directly in Account Management and cut out the pointless middleman. Then you also don't have to wait for the email but can simply login and claim the gametime with one click.

I am intreserad to buy an EVE box if I had the opportunity to know what it contained?
is the type a star map with any big manual with it?
Can I sell the ETC because I pay the game already?
Would the manual be a fail after a new patch ?

bump cause buying GTCs in real stores would be nice. It's one reason why wow is so popular. Anyone can run to the store and pick up a GTC.

its cheaper to pay in USD then pounds or Euros
if you pay in pounds, you have to pay 29.99 Reatil or roughly ú12-13 a month (60 Days seems to be a rip off since its 30+)
paying in USD depending how well the markets doing people from the UK are looking at paying 16-19 for 60 days
americans have it cheap

We're happy to sell GTC's to any store who wants to sell them on, however stores are the ones deciding what they want to sell, we can't exactly force them. The best thing would be to go and ask your local game stores to start selling the GTC's.

To be honest, no. If you already have the game downloaded the little booklet not the Interbus ****tle are worth it. Unless you don't mind paying a bit more real cash for an ingame useless novelty item. Starmap? What starmap?
And yes you can seel the code just like any other code or convert it to 2 PLEXes.
From the few stores that carried EVE GTC's there are none left. I am currently trying to bring one of them sofar so they atleast order some for me from time to time. And yes, I want to buy them there because after the discount I get there with my discountcard I actually pay less than I would pay with one of the online retailers.
WoW has somany shops selling those GTC's because they have a much wider playerbase, thus more people buying them, next to that their playerbase is in general a lot younger thus most likely way less CC's amongst them.
If you look at the spread out rating of WoW players compared to EVE players you see that the EVE GTC would have a much much lower sell rate for any shop, thus a lot of them take them out of their sales spot again.
